1. MODO Hockey
Canadian duo Michela Cava and Kaitlyn Tougas keep putting up points for MODO and lie first and sixth in Total Points in the SDHL. Both gained three points in the 9-1 drubbing of bottom of the table Gothenburg HC, Cava with 1G-2A and Tougas with 2G-1A.
However, the duo continue to lose teammates around them. Injured Marion Allemoz and Breanne Wilson-Bennett have not returned to the team and now defender Lauren Wildfang has left the club due to serious illness of a friend back in Canada.
The team has brought in 16 year old Amanda Ahlm from the juniors to replace 29 year old Allemoz and already have a number of young players in the team alongside their gifted import players. Wildfang's back partner, Swede, Mina Waxin, for example, is only 17 but is having a breakout season and played her first international games for the seniors this November.
Tonight, Tuesday 27 December, will see the away leg of a double header against second place, Luleå which will be followed by the home fixture this Sunday 29 December. If Luleå win both matches in regulation they will go top of the league in the last matches of 2018.
